Caremark Angels. I can't thank Caremark enough. They're the reason my mum and dad are happy and together at home. All I have to do is pick up the phone, and they sort things out for us right away. Cannot recommend & thank Caremark enough. They check in regularly and are on the ball with updates and keeping in touch with any concerns. I genuinely don't know what us as a family would do without them.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank Caremark for saving my life I'm a 43 year old man originally from the Irish traveler community but I was raised in Huddersfield by my mother and stepfather for many years I had a very serious alcohol addiction and this led me to very serious neglect of myself in everyday life I went to the stage where I ballooned to 48stone weight and spent seven months in hospital fighting for life the deep respect I hold for Caremark I havent got the words Caremark came in sometime towards the second part of 2024 I was gravely ill and to be honest I was dying full of grief over the death of my brother Mike Caremark supported me as I began to face up to my issues and overcome my psychological demons I was admitted to hospital Caremark were there as I fought for my life after suffering an anaphylaxis and supported me with phone calls and kind words of support during my darkest times I lost 20 stone weight I'm ten months sober I'm still with Caremark they saved my life they are the best

Carers have been kind, patient and professional during their visits. But unfortunately, there is only so much they can do when my dad refuses to cooperate and is stubborn about it.

Overall Experience

If I could give this company more stars I would. We as a family couldn't be more grateful for the team who visit Dad. They go above & beyond, the carers are reliable, kind, chatty and so helpful. It all works like clockwork. The service provided is absolutely marvellous and my dad and us couldn't be happier. Not forgetting the office team behind the scenes that make it all happen, they are also more than happy to help, their communication is second to none. I highly recommend to anybody needing help at home in & around the area. Thank you all.

Review from Graham P (Nephew of Client) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I recommend using Caremark Kirklees to provide care for your elderly relative. It was a difficult and emotional decision to ask carers to work with my elderly aunt, but she has benefitted enormously from their kindness and physical/emotional support.
All the carers who looked after my elderly aunt were very kind and patient. Her mental health was declining and she struggled with accepting carers in her home. Their patience and professional approach enabled her to continue to dress and feed herself wherever possible, but also benefit from their support as & when required.
I found all the Caremark staff - carers, supervisors and office based colleagues - very friendly and easy to deal with . They quickly added any additional care requests, such as supervising medication, into their routine and ensured they were met exactly as required.

I liked using the app to see the carer's notes from each visit which provided peace of mind about the loving care my aunt was receiving.

Overall Experience

I feel the that the carer is an exceptional carer. Her approach is so kind, respectful and loving. My mother was and has been struggling with accepting care and she has made such a difference to my mother where now she looks forward to the care she receives. Her mental health has improved significantly and is calmer. I have never met a carer who will go the extra mile with their support and treats people like they are their own family. Whenever she is working with my mother I know I don't need to worry as she is so loving and kind towards her. I wish more carers had this genuine approach.

Duncan Smith

Inspired by the memory of my Grandfather, Murray Affleck, who was a well-known and respected Doctor (Consultant Physician) at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, I have opened Caremark Kirklees with the vision to become the best provider of home care in the region. The focus is on delivering the highest quality of care possible in order to improve the quality of life for the people supported by Caremark.

Born in the Holme Valley and raised in Huddersfield, I have a wide ranging business background, with both international and UK sales experience. My mission is to provide a local service where I can make a difference to those who have chosen to remain in their own home and receive personal care to enable them to be independent, secure and retain their dignity.
